Paul takes a step back and reviews one of his hidden gems from 2010
The entire graphic adventure genre is practically under-the-radar, but releases like Telltale’s The Walking Dead prove that at least a few titles deserve our notice. With new graphic adventure fans emerging, this is the perfect time to shine light on some titles that have not received their due because of the genre’s niche status. If you’ve been hankering to get swept up in something different, these graphic adventures are worth checking out.
Gemini Rue is really good, very interesting story and dual play style, reminds me a lot of games like The Dig.
Super Meat Boy and The Binding of Issac creator Ed McMillen is releasing the Basement Collection - an anthology containing eight of his prior works - on Steam in late August. It will be priced at $4.
While each game can be played for free on McMillen's Newgrounds page, the Basement Collection will be ad-free, playable in full screen and come with a host of goodies.
i played it, it's 9 out of 10 minimum. 6.7 because of controls? lol
The screen shots in the review are not of gray matter but of a vehciular zombie game called blood drive
Even if the controls were sucky, I was totally mesmerized by the demo. I'm still deciding wether I want to buy it for the 360, because I really do want to show that there is an audience in the console crowd that enjoys these kinds of games. Full price however is something I can't afford right now, 60 euros is too much.
